Kristjan Asllani

[brehme1989]

We are obviously not going to sell him at this point if we have any sort of brain, we are going to develop him further at least until it makes financial sense to sell him on, it makes no rational sense to sell him before he is at least 24 years.

There other prospects we likely would sell soon because they reached max market value like Martinez, Bastoni, Barella and Dimarco. It makes financial no sense to move him on if we can see a potential in him for 4-5x current market value. I’m rather convinced of that reason our owner would push Martinez towards a sale I would almost be chocked if he is here next season.

That's not the question.

It's a pretty straight forward argument.

Is Asllani worth anything as he is now to other teams?
How much would they be willing to spend to sign him?

And taking it a step further, if he was at Roma or Lazio, would we be even looking at him?

We can easily get 10-15 mln for him right now. If we send him on loan for one season with regular playing time, his price will increase

What his worth is now is pretty irrelevant as he is a development player, it’s not what he is worth today that matters but what he is worth tomorrow.

so less than we got him for?

 

[varmin]

so less than we got him for?

This is considering that we want to get rid of him. Brozo is also worth more than 18mln, but people knew that we want to sell, therefore the price is lower.
If somebody wants Asllani, I doubt that we will ask for less than 20 mln

I’ve got to agree with Brehme on this one. Asllani as back up to Hakan is a weakness in this squad. It’s not quite the drop off we get in the forwards department when Lautaro or Thuram are out. However, it’s really not that far off. We just notice it less because of the position and the fact Hakan almost always plays.

Compare him to back ups in other roles like De Vrij, Augusto, Frattesi, Dumfries. There is an obvious difference, and I don’t just think it’s age. Asllani is not a bad player and I don’t think anyone is saying that. Lord knows we saw much worse players in this club.

However, is he really an Inter quality talent, let alone an Inter quality player currently? I’m not convinced, certainly not in the regista role.

 

[Dave54]

But he is a back up regista guy, who plays once in a blue moon. Hakan would be here for another 4-5 years. Asllani is more than enough for this team for the near future, until he develops.

We’d rotate more if there was a more talented experienced player. Brozo last year is a perfect example.

Brozovic isn't a good example because he was a definite starter who lost his position due to injury. Also the other options were Asllani and Gagliardini so he was the obvious 4th option.

Next season we're gonna have Frattesi and Zielinski as 4-5th options. How exactly is our 6th midfield option gonna find playing time? Especially when Inzaghi has never been a big fan of rotation

 

[varmin]

We have Asllani, and he is developing normally, so it's useless to replace him with somebody else, who will cost more money and will have a higher salary as well.
I also don't buy "he is not good enough" and "he doesn't have potential" arguments.
Lautaro also had many critics when he came at same age, but he turned to a top player for us. Brozo's story is similar as he was on the verge of leaving, before to became a crucial player for us.
Nobody knows how good will be Asllani after two seasons and on which position he will play.

 

[IL Fenomeno]

He is used to our system. Not easy to find a cheap replacement and is able to settle in immediatley

 

[Alex de Large]

Imo is the official backup, but let's say we play CL final tomorrow and for some reason Hakan isn't avaliable. I think we will probably field Barella there, with Mikhi/Fratessi starting.

 

[Meysam]

We need to be more patient about our youth like him.
Last game he made no mistake and had well performance imo. Development takes time so if we want him to offer somethings more we should give him more time

Nobody is saying that Asslani WONT BE good. In the future. Right now, he's a huge downgrade in our game when he plays instead of Hakan. HUGE. Can you imagine him playing against Atletico instead Hakan? We can only pray that scenario wont happen. We are no more banter era Inter. We want to be like Real and City. But we have no money like them to get top player to be Hakan backup. Last season we had top player like Brozovic as Hakan backup(in latter stage of season). Frattesi is really good backup for Barella(or Mhiki). Zielinsky will be great too. Klaassen is not. And Asslani is not, not yet, and maybe ever. I think he can do good against bottom and even midtable teams. But against best in Italy and Europe he is not able to bring us what Brozo or similiar good player could bring us. He is not that good, right now. He looks like amateur alongside Mhiki and Barella,and whole team. He is not good as Thuram, who proved in the first two rounds of this season his class, and right now we need immediate succes, cause like I said, we are aspiring to be top team in Europa, we are not banter era shit anymore. The bar is raised. DeVrij, Augusto, Bisseck(yes!), Darmian, Frattesi, they are good back ups, Arnautović, Klaassen, Asslani not so, we saw that on the pitch, their performances, this is not quantum physics. Or you think Asslani showed more than Bisseck?

What do you mean? Inzaghi always rotates by position. Whenever Hakan is not playing he plays Asllani. He isnt a 6th midfielder. He’s the only regista back up.

 

[varmin]

For top teams, Inzaghi always can play Barella there, if Hakan is unavailable. Brozo's gross salary was 12 mln per season, something which Inter cannot afford for a bench player currently.
And, there is no player with Brozovic skills, who would like to eat the bench.

Barella is not a good dlp

 

[varmin]

Barella is not a good dlp

He can play there for 1-2 games per season, it's not a big deal.

 

[rfU]

Barella is not a good dlp

I'm convinced he could grow into the role, given enough time. He certainly has the tools.

100%. Or if he plays, you would see barella constantly filling that spot and helping, like against atalanta. We can all scream youth development, give him time, but reality will be what you wrote right there and what it boils down to for people who want a more ready player to replace him.
